Humor = one of the secrets of good office environment is having people who can laugh and have fun

you should embrace, not scorn, the office clown

72. CONTROL YOUR WORK FLOW

Map your day = organize your tasks and not leave your day to total chance

Break often = take a walk for 10 minutes every few hours, have a bottle of water, clear your head. It's all part of energy management. The few minutes you spend away from your desk will make you more efficient when you get back.

Enlist troops = you'll reduce stress (and save time) by asking for help when you need it

don't be afraid to delegate or ask others to pitch in when you're overloaded (and offer to do the same for others when they're in tight spots)

Repurpose your lists = keep a to-do list and an i-hate list

when something bothers you in your job, write it down. Revisit the list in a week. If it's still bothering you, maybe it's time to aggressively pursue a solution (or another job).
